Technology and the Future of Happiness in a Hyperconnected World
As we look toward the future of work and learning, the spotlight is firmly on wellness. A recent survey revealed that over 90% of individuals are experiencing burnout due to digital overwhelm—citing the pressures of working across multiple time zones, toggling between applications, fending off digital distractions, overcoming Zoom fatigue, and more.
While leaders acknowledge these issues, there’s a lack of vision on how to overcome them and establish a more positive digital culture.
In this interactive workshop, Amy will guide you through cutting-edge research from the field, equip you with actionable skills to support your teams, and introduce emerging resources available to you now to create systematic and lasting change.
